Whose the ******* whose on the clock and not picking.. oh sorry, its you newyorknewyork

Yea yea yea

Alright so Roy Hibbert & Robin Lopez are both gone. Seattle is pretty much crowded at all 5 positions. They lack quality at the 5 spot but all the best prospects for that position are gone.

With that said the Seattle Supersonics select Jason Thompson

I will not be able to provide any pictures since my computer sucks(content)

Both my picks are in so who cares who's next on the clock.

the Houston Rockets select the international phenomenon... the guy i would imagine Jay Bilas to compare to the next Tayshaun Prince & our resident all knowing expert BRIGGS call the next guaranteed bust of the draft... the man who i've sent countless seconds researching endless YouTube clips of... the young neophyte successor to T-Mac... the one... the only... the French Sensation out of Le Mans...

Nicolaaaaaaas Batuummmmmm, SF out of France *BOOOOOO!!!!*




Kumar is now on the clock

those clips of Batum were pretty impressive

The San Antonio Spurs go with he best value on the board and decide to go and get another big man to pair with Timmy:

Spurs select Mareese Speights, PF/C Florida


Purple is up next:

With the 27th pick of the 2008 NBA draft, the NO Hornets select Donte Greene.

27. New Orleans - Donte Green 6'10" 221 lbs

My logic: They've got the best PG since Magic, they've got an all star PF & an young, active C. Then they've got a bunch of excellent role players. So why Greene? Well, Peja is a shooter but offers little else. Green can be groomed to eventually take over that SF position. At 6'10", with skills, he's a potential match-up nightmare. But potential is the key here. Greene can be as good as he wants to be. He can be a frustrating check collector like Tim Thomas or a borderline NBA all star like Rashard Lewis. Up to him. He isn't an idiot like Thomas, but he did leave a lot to be desired at SU. I don't think he'll get much time in Year 1, but at 27, could be a steal down the road. In the actual draft, he'll go 12-15 slots higher than this.

Strengths: A long and versatile player that possesses tremendous perimeter skills … An athletic specimen with enormous potential … Deadly out of the triple threat, where he utilizes jabs and pump fakes to attack the opposition … A shot maker with the ability to convert on a variety of acrobatic and off-balance shots … His skill, athleticism and size make him a difficult match up … His leaping ability and body control allow him to finish over and around people in the lane … He possesses a terrific spin move … Also shows great form and range on his shot … Shows a nice pull up off the dribble … He's willing to mix it up in the post where his repertoire is growing, has a nice right mini-hook and a very effective fade away … Has a good feel for the ball, combined with his length make him a dangerous shot blocker as well as a disruptor in the passing lanes … Attacks the offensive glass aggressively …Greene is an especially long and talented wing who can score in bunches. When he’s on, he hits long three pointers casually and seems to have the confidence of a legend. He has the offensive ability to take over games and calls for the ball on the court when he’s feeling it. He has the ability to handle the ball, and take it to the basket aggressively and with a quick first and second step. He draws fouls well. He can pass and plays tough defense when he wants to. He can defend the power forward position, can block shots and is an excellent rebounder with the ability to dominate the glass. Donte plays very relaxed, and loves to make big loud plays on both offense and defense. He shows an interest in being a vocal leader on the court. Greene was a man among boys at the 2006 Nike Camp where he made everyone else on the court look completely out of place for stretches of certain games.

Weaknesses: Far too often settles for fade away 3 point shots instead of trying to create a better shot. This was especially true late in the season which could have been a product of fatigue ... Shot nearly twice as many 3 pointers as free throws, which shouldn't be the case considering his size and athleticism advantage over most opponents ... Needs to get stronger and bulk up, shows an excellent frame, but still needs to add strength … Struggles finishing after getting hit … Shies away from contact which is reflected by his measly 3.8 free throw attempts per game ... Dribbles with his head down and is somewhat uncomfortable handling the ball in transition, also struggles dribbling against more aggressive defenders that put pressure on him ... Although his form is very nice, his shot is somewhat inconsistent and he settles for too many 3’s (over half of his FG attempts come from behind the arc)... Has a tendency to coast and defer to less skilled teammates … Needs to play with more of an edge and develop a killer instinct; he should be dominating the college game with his versatility … Defense is a bit of a concern because he has minimal experience playing man to man, and seems to be very lazy about his stance and anticipation ... His length and athleticism should help to make up for his less than ideal lateral speed and quickness … Still a very young and raw player with a lot to work with, that needs to learn the nuances of the game …



Memphis/Uptown> are now on the clock.

28. memphis - Uptown

Yeah man.

Posted by Uptown:

With the 28th pick, the Memphis Grizzles select: Courtney Lee of Western Kentucky University.

Courtney Lee 6'5 200lbs

Strengths: Prolific scorer with excellent outside shooting ability ... Knocks down a high volume of 3 pointers and with good efficiency (40%) ... Has a picture perfect shot with a quick release and can get his shot off with just an inch of daylight ... Strong one on one skills with good ball handling and scoring ability ... Shoots well off the dribble or spotting up ... Shows a solid ability to get by his man and finish at the rim ... Does a good job of drawing fouls and getting to the line where he effectively knocks down over 80% of his foul shots ... Has an advanced mid-range game. Does a good job of cutting his drive off before committing a charge and hitting mid-range jumpers or floaters ... Mature decision maker, unselfish player who rarely forces bad shots ... Composed player having four years of experience under his belt ... Has shown improvement in his ball protection and passing ability, raising his a/to ratio considerably from his junior to senior year ... A strong competitor, high character guy ... A solid defender who gets a fair number of pilfers (1.8 spg), though less impressive considering the conference he plays in ... His NBA readiness is better than most with 4 years of experience and a polished offensive game ...

Weaknesses: Not a physical marvel with average athletic ability (by NBA standards) ... He's small for the 2-guard position at between 6-4 and 6-5 with short arms ... Gets a little careless with the ball off the dribble ... Can be a little overaggressive defensively resulting in foul trouble ... Playing at a mid-major, his level of competition gets questioned. 20 ppg doesn't have the same "bling" in the Sun Belt Conference, and in a high octane offense ... Has good quickness, but will struggle to create shots as effectively against bigger and more athletic defenders ... While he is more NBA ready than most, he lacks the upside of a number of the other 2-guard prospects available ... His passing ability is neither great nor terrible. If a teammate is open, he find him, but rarely makes plays to create scoring opportunities for others ... A solid defender but his lack of length and great athleticism will make defending a chore for him at the next level ... Would probably be a better defender if he wasn't forced to spend so much energy on the offensive end ...


Detroit (Knicksbabyyeah)- is on the clock.

Didn't he go with the singer from Nirvana?

Difficult, the player that dropped is Ty Lawson, but he's stated that if he doesn't get a guarantee of 20 or earlier he'll go back to college.

I really like Richard Hendrix for the Pistons but their young talent is already ahead of him (Amir and Jason).

So without further ado, the Pistons pick
